Taking risks, breaking the rules, and being a maverick have always been important but today they are more crucial than ever.

Strategy is, above all else, the search for above average returns.

A noble purpose inspires sacrifice, stimulates innovation and encourages perseverance.

We owe our existence to innovation. Our species exists thanks to four billion years of genetic innovation.

The real damper on employee engagement is the soggy, cold blanket of centralized authority. In most companies, power cascades downwards from the CEO. Not only are employees disenfranchised from most policy decisions, they lack even the power to rebel against egocentric and tyrannical supervisors.

Innovation is the fuel for growth. When a company runs out of innovation, it runs out of growth.

Any company that cannot imagine the future won't be around to enjoy it.
